Texas judge removes restraining order on Keystone XL Beaumont Enterprise Copyright 2012 Beaumont Enterprise. All rights reserved.

Published 1:14 pm, Thursday, December 13, 2012 Nacogdoches County resident Michael Bishop had won the temporary restraining order on Friday after arguing that TransCanada had misrepresented the purpose of Keystone XL when negotiating an agreement to construct the pipeline through his land. Sinz dissolved the temporary restraining order, but set a hearing for next Wednesday on the pipeline dispute, TransCanada spokesman David Dodson said. After a lengthy dispute with TransCanada over work on his land, Bishop signed a settlement agreement with the company about three weeks ago and accepted a payment from the company, Dodson said. Pipeline opponents also argue that the diluted bitumen is especially difficult to clean up when spilled, partly because it has heavier components that can sink in water, unlike most liquid crude oils that float and can be skimmed off the surface.
